			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m pretty sure that I went an entire month with out writing on my blog.  An. Entire. Month.  That&#8217;s just shocking.  Seriously.  I LOVE writing.  I love writing so much that I&#8217;m intending on making a career of it.  But yet I have not written in a simple blog for an entire month. Longer, actually.  But no post whatsoever for the month of November.  Which happened to be my birthday month even.  But since I&#8217;m no longer getting older in the magic world we call &#8220;Niteflirt&#8221;, not calling attention to my birthday actually worked in my favor.  Yup.  I&#8217;m STILL barely legal and still just 18!  Tah Dah! </p>
<p>I could write a post about that.  But I won&#8217;t.  Although at this point, I&#8217;m sure many of you are just happy to be reading <strong>anything</strong> I write about! </p>
<p>What I want to say is that I&#8217;m knee deep in finals week.  Today will be my very first final.  And if you all could just take a moment out of your day and say a little prayer for me (Dionne Warrick style) around 1:00PM PST, I&#8217;d appreciate it.  I&#8217;ll be attempting to write 3 short essays in about 80 minutes for my English Literature class.  Hopefully I&#8217;ll be successful, but I&#8217;m not good at writing under pressure (obviously).  </p>
<p>All in all, this semester of school has gone extremely well.  I&#8217;m sitting on a 100 percent right now in Math class.  Yeah.  100 percent.  Which means on every test I&#8217;ve done I&#8217;ve gotten 100 percent on.  Can I say that any more times?  Meanwhile in my upper level English class I&#8217;ve received a B on my last essay.  Which really isn&#8217;t THAT surprising considering I suck at essays.  Well, I don&#8217;t suck, they just aren&#8217;t my &#8216;thing&#8217;.  I&#8217;ve really enjoyed this class though, and I&#8217;d love to nail the final and walk out of the class with an A.  I deserve it.  And then there&#8217;s the Anthropology class, that even with an excellent tutor (thank you Dr. Benway!) I&#8217;m still struggling with all the terms and stuff I&#8217;m forced to learn.  Axis.  Coccyx, Tarsus, Occipital, Gracile, Robust, Sternum, Calcaneus, phalanges, metatarsals, temporal, deciduous&#8230; seriously.  It&#8217;s a damn 1 credit lab class and I feel like I&#8217;m in medical school.  Haven&#8217;t been surrounded by that many skeletons and skulls in &#8211; well, forever, really.  When I&#8217;m done cramming all of this information into my head I&#8217;ll impress you with some of the things I&#8217;ve learned (do you know why your clavicle is S shaped? I do. <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  ).  It really is fascinating, this human body.  And I am really (despite my bitching and complaining) so excited to be in a position to learn all about so many different things.  Going to school is by far one of the smartest things I&#8217;ve ever done and I&#8217;m so absolutely blessed and thankful to have a &#8216;job&#8217; that allows me to continue my educational goals.  That was what I would have written in November.  A big huge Thank You to all of my clients and friends.<br />
But yeah&#8230; I didn&#8217;t. </p>
<p>So I&#8217;m almost done.  And then I&#8217;m going to take a little bit of a vacation.  Twice.  But more on that later.  For now know that I&#8217;m thinking of all of you, and even though my schedule is a bit fucked at the moment, it should get a bit clearer in less than a week.  I am still logging on during the evenings, and lately I&#8217;ve been staying on overnight.  I can&#8217;t promise I&#8217;ll hear the phone ring at 3:00AM, but I have been getting up regularly around 5:30 thanks to my alarm clock (wink wink nudge nudge to you know who for being my alarm clock every morning practically!) I&#8217;ll update some things around here after Thursday&#8217;s last final and settle down long enough to put up a working schedule. At least.  I hope. </p>
<p>Oh, and Manic Make up Monday became more of a Manic Finals Mayhem.  I&#8217;ll postpone that until maybe next Monday.  Or not.  It&#8217;s Christmas time, maybe I&#8217;ll have every Monday in December be Make Up Monday! ahaha.  Remind me to tell you all about my massive makeup collection. I make it seem all innocent and cute and in some little make up case with a zipper, but in reality my make up collection takes up more drawers than my t-shirt, panty, bra and sock drawers combined.  Some people collect cars, dolls, coins, stamps, or bones (that&#8217;s a small nod to my Anthropology Professor who I think has a crush on me.  She&#8217;s a girl.  More on that later!).  I collect lipstick, nail polish, eyeshadows, and other stuff.  *shrugs*  What can I say?  </p>
<p>I can say bye. That&#8217;s what I can say.  Gotta run and prepare for my final, and go to my prep for my math final that I can fail and still get an A in the class.  It&#8217;s the small light at the end of a long tunnel &#8211; like many of you have been these past few weeks of cramming and studying and crying and moaning and screaming and &#8230; oh &#8211; wait &#8211; that was my last call. My bad. But in all seriousness, thanks for all you have done to make this semester a great one.  You&#8217;ve kept me sane. I&#8217;ll make you proud. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Turns out Jackson is even LESS of a fan of fireworks than me.  Didn&#8217;t think it was possible.  I don&#8217;t like loud unexpected noises, and I&#8217;m always a bit freaked out by the displays of fireworks.  Might have something to do with my childhood and the hand that I lost while lighting a cherry bomb&#8230; </p>
<p>Kidding.  </p>
<p>I just don&#8217;t like loud noises.  And fireworks take longer to prepare than actually seeing them.  I don&#8217;t mean to sound like a brat (though I&#8217;m getting practice becoming more of one thanks to some of my callers who are holding classes in brat), I just don&#8217;t like the whole anticipation of fireworks for 10 minutes.  Or even 15.  It took longer for me to drive to an area to see these fireworks and then set up to watch them than it did for the actual show.  It&#8217;s comparable to being prepared for a nice long sex session doing your favorite fantasy, and getting a minute.  I understand quickies can be necessary and downright enjoyable guys, but I&#8217;m not wearing my sexiest lingerie for one.  Did I get all off topic and lose the original point?  Yeah?  Original point:  I hate fireworks. </p>
<p>Jackson totally freaked out during them.  I don&#8217;t know what I was doing last 4th of July because I don&#8217;t remember him acting like this last year. Or maybe I just repressed the whole event. But tonight,   Jackson was just pissed off.  Not scared but he was in full protector mode.  The neighbors started shooting off (fireworks) at about 5:00PM I swear!  And then the theme park next to me started shooting them off hours later, and then a few drunk neighbors decided to test their luck and shot off fireworks an hour ago.  During this long torture my dog the protector decided that all he had to do was bark at a high enough and loud enough decibel and the fireworks would stop.  He&#8217;s now passed out on the rug acting like he&#8217;s responsible for restoring world peace.  Next year he&#8217;s getting a doggy tranquilizer. </p>
<p>So enough of the whining, let me say I will take MY kind of fireworks over 4th of July ones any day of the year!  You guys have kept me so incredibly busy and happy this weekend!  I didn&#8217;t know that coming back would be so rewarding.  I still have so much to do before I can sit back and &#8216;kind of&#8217; relax, but I have until the 3rd week in August to complete some of the renovations I&#8217;m doing around here.  I think I might just make it.  </p>
<p>I decided to stay up late late and work to gain your favor (ahaha) and I guess it worked and you all forgive me.  Glad we got that sniveling and begging out of the way so we can go back to how things were before I flaked for 4-5 months.  And yeah, I mean MY sniveling and begging!  So I spent the past few days not really sleeping and doing some serious calls.  I also spent quite a bit of time thinking up an incentive program/reward system that will make sure I never sleep for more than 5 hours a night again EVER!  But it will be totally worth it!  I really like being able to do something for my callers who have supported me since I was 18 (wait &#8211; that was just 1 year since I&#8217;m only STILL 19!).  I&#8217;ve had friends come and go since those beginning days, but &#8230; </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s not do this AGAIN.  I always get all sentimental like I&#8217;m dying or something.   Just thanks. And the incentive program is underway.  I will be updating and sending you all emails in the next few days so watch your inboxes on niteflirt.  If you don&#8217;t want to participate, please let me know.  I hate spam and certainly don&#8217;t want to be contributing to mail you&#8217;d prefer to not be getting.  </p>
<p>Um &#8230; I think that&#8217;s basically it.  This week is pretty much mine to do with as I wish, so I&#8217;ll be available early evenings for calls every day except Monday &#038; Tuesday evenings (spin class &#8211; won&#8217;t be home until about 9:00PM).  So dreamers, tomorrow let&#8217;s dream a bit together!  You&#8217;ll be glad you did! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It will be finals week on Tuesday.  Luckily I should be done by Wednesday.  It has been a very difficult semester for me.  A lot of things have been going on and a lot of changes are happening in my life.  What makes it difficult is that I have always been pretty forthcoming on the blog.  Sure there are things (naturally) that I keep to myself for privacy reasons, but for the most part I&#8217;ve been uncomfortably (haha) open.  When I feel that there is just too much going on and things that are just a bit too personal, I tend to &#8211; well, disappear.  It might be my way of forcing some distance between me and my job.  It&#8217;s an occupational hazard: remaining close enough for connection but distant enough for sanity.  Some of you get what I&#8217;m talking about.  <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p>So with all that said, I&#8217;m still at a loss with how much to say and how much to keep close.   What I know I can share is that this semester was by far the hardest semester I&#8217;ve ever dealt with.  On top of that, I&#8217;ve gone through a very disappointing dissolving of a friendship that was completely unavoidable but nonetheless a heart break &#8211; especially after just now being able to breathe through a broken relationship almost exactly a year ago.  ON top of the losses I&#8217;ve experienced, I&#8217;ve also experienced great beginnings of friendships.  Not replacements to the losses, but definite blessings just when I needed them.  I&#8217;ve recently experienced the joys of &#8216;cleansing&#8217; and yeah, I&#8217;m still exercising &#8211; even planning on starting a running program once school ends.   So yes &#8211; definite beginnings.  But as I said earlier, I&#8217;ve also gone through one of the most difficult semesters of my life.  I have to retake a math class I started because I just got so behind I wasn&#8217;t able to dig my way out of the hole.  I&#8217;ve just about gotten to the point where I can not feel so ashamed about it, but failing/not completing things really breaks my heart.  I really love school and love to learn.  I love understanding how my brain works, but along with that I always have a struggle fitting into what the school system wants to pass off as education and teaching. I did manage to get high grades in both my upper level English and Anthropology class and am expecting to get high B&#8217;s (really I&#8217;m expecting to get A&#8217;s but I don&#8217;t want to jinx myself!) in both subjects.  </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what this summer holds.  I&#8217;m still trying to recover from this last semester.  I will be thinking seriously about what will become of my life here on NF.  I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;ll venture into the &#8220;real&#8221; world and work or if I can somehow revamp my life here and make it fit into the kind of person I&#8217;m becoming.  What I do know is that I have to do what feels right &#8211; and not something I feel I&#8217;m &#8216;suppose&#8221; to do because I don&#8217;t want to disappoint anyone.  What I can promise is that I&#8217;ll keep you all abreast (I love that word!) as to what I&#8217;m going to do.  You have all been so good to me over the years &#8211; and I consider many of you friends of mine who have supported me in my school work and my life&#8217;s goals with books, income, laughter, listening ears, etc.  But this is not going to be that kind of a post.  I&#8217;m not saying goodbye.  I&#8217;m not even really saying &#8220;hello&#8221; &#8211; I&#8217;m just popping in to let you all know that I&#8217;m still here.  I&#8217;m still thinking of many of you &#8211; and I&#8217;m trying my best to be on every now and then in between life that always has gotten in the way of my pleasure (haha).  </p>
<p>Have a great weekend.  I&#8217;ll check in later on tonight &#8211; and will probably be around tomorrow morning and evening for any of you wishing to work off your Memorial Day binges.  Hugs and many kisses. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t blame you if you don&#8217;t.  Yes, it&#8217;s me, CeCe, signing in after MANY months.  And though I know it would entertain you to hear all the excuses I could muster up, I&#8217;m just gonna stick with the boring details:  I was knee deep in Algebra.  yup.  I was in math hell for many months and just as soon as I could get my head above water, that&#8217;s when the bridge would break and I&#8217;d be over my head in mathematical problems all over again.  I was barely logged in, and when I was I was often times distracted or called away from business to tackle yet another ruthless word problem.  This is the time that you should all start playing violins for me.  Thank you. </p>
<p>So now I have a month off from school and I have ever intention of catching up on some things around here.  Things are starting (finally) to look up around here, and I am proud to have not given in to the panic that surrounded me.  I guess the paid mails are even working fine as of late.  See?  Patience IS a virtue!  </p>
<p>Some of you remembered my birthday and thank you, but I&#8217;ve stopped celebrating them.  If you call me, you&#8217;ll notice that I&#8217;m 19 again.  I figure it&#8217;s a good year, and that way no one has to wonder why a 20 somethin&#8217; year old is still going under &#8220;teenwetdream&#8221;.  It will be our little secret.  I still have my braces on, so as far as I&#8217;m concerned, I still look like a teen, and well, I&#8217;m still fighting to keep myself well with in your dreams.  Yeah, I&#8217;m still corny. </p>
<p>So this is really just a quick update.  If I make it too long it will be another 2 months before I post it.  It is Monday, the 28th of December, and I will be logging in around 8:00PM this evening (that&#8217;s California Pacific time) and staying logged in until I can&#8217;t keep my eyes open.  You should call me and say hi, if you haven&#8217;t had the chance.  I definitely look forward to reconnecting with some of you AND meeting new and kinky/interesting men, too!  Thank you for your patience these past few months, not only with niteflirt&#8217;s issues, but with my school schedule and stuff.  I&#8217;m back.  I promise. <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I realize that a bunch of time has lapsed since my last <strike>confession</strike> entry and I&#8217;m sorry.&#160; It had to be that way because things were literally just crazy for a few weeks there.&#160; First, I was a victim of an online crime of gi-normous size and consequence (lol!) that resulted in my having to change my direct deposit bank and call up and wait long periods of time for everything to right itself after the horrible wrong that was done.&#160; Then I had finals: a huge final in geography covering 7 chapters of wind patterns, clouds and rain stuff, erosion and other weathering stuff, and a few map quizzes thrown in for good measure.&#160; And I almost forgot about the currents.&#160; Ah, the lovely currents and trade, easterly and westerly winds.&#160; <img alt="Love Struck" src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/8.gif" />&#160; I also had a final with my English Pervie Professor From Hell (EPPFH) which consisted of an in class essay on <u>The Kite Runner</u> and a 75 question extra credit grammar test.&#160; Yeah.&#160; It was a busy week.&#160; After I survived finals I then crashed, only to log in and take a few calls between bouts of consciousness for about a week or so.&#160; Then it was Christmas and shopping and wrapping and in between those things I still was trying to log on and work when I could.&#160; I was also going to the gym because it was the only way I could regulate my anxiety during the finals and Christmas Shopping.&#160; And then it was Christmas and now &#8230; almost the end of the year.&#160; I had to come in and wish everyone &quot;Happy Holidays&quot; and hope for everyone a prosperous and enriched New Year.&#160; Let&#8217;s save the New Year&#8217;s Resolutions, shall we?&#160; Let&#8217;s just hope this next year is a bit more hopeful and a whole lot healthier for not only the Earth, but each other.&#160; I fuckin sounded like Jerry Springer just then, didn&#8217;t I? </p>
<p>So as you can tell by this entry &#8211; I survived finals.&#160; I tried to start early with my Geography Final &#8211; but I was still organizing my notes up until the moment I sat down to do the test.&#160; I have this ritual, you see, of redoing all of my notes and reorganizing everything.&#160; Before analysis (lol &#8211; doesn&#8217;t that sound so mature?!) I thought it was just another procrastination thing I did, but now that I&#8217;ve spoken to the good Dr for several months I realize that organizing and rewriting things is my way of remembering things.&#160; The whole different color pens and pencils and illustrations and teaching other people about things I am learning, etc. is just my way of committing these things to my memory bank.&#160; Apparently it works.&#160; But not with out a whole lot of drama.&#160; Because I am so visual with my learning, I made a trip to Office Depot, Staples less popular and rather geek-y younger brother.&#160; Sorry, it&#8217;s true.&#160; I walked into Office Depot because it was close to the gym I go to, with a goal in mind: Sticky notes.&#160; 50 dollars later I make my way to the counter where I start reassessing my purchases.&#160; &quot;Do you really need this, CeCe?&#160; Nah.&#160; Put it back.&#160; What about these pens?&#160; Yeah &#8211; definitely need to keep them.&#160; But what about these?&#160; Nah &#8230; put those back, too&#8230;&quot;&#160; So I set aside a few things and tell the Office Depot Clerk that I won&#8217;t be needing them but I&#8217;ll take the still substantial pile of things that looks like a good 40 bucks still, even after the &quot;save&quot;.&#160; This little clerk looks me in the eye, I kid you not!, and asks, &quot;Can I ask you why you won&#8217;t be taking these items?&quot;&#160; &#8230;</p>
<p>&quot;Pardon?!&quot;</p>
<p>&quot;Why don&#8217;t you want these?&quot; He asks again, more boldly this time, his beady little cashier eyes burying their way into my very soul as if looking for the answer there.</p>
<p>&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;</p>
<p>Yeah.&#160; That&#8217;s silence from me.&#160; Because I can&#8217;t believe that in all my life I have never been questioned on my &quot;go backs&quot; before in a store, and I&#8217;m now considering whether or not this is a new practice in lieu of the &quot;R&quot; word (recession). </p>
<p>&quot;Um.&#160; It was an impulsive moment &#8212; and I realized I didn&#8217;t need those after all.&quot;</p>
<p>&quot;Oh.&quot;&#160; He says, still looking me in the eye uncomfortably while making no move to ring up my purchases I DO want, &quot;because I was going to offer you a discount.&quot;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s now apparent that we&#8217;re having a little stare down.&#160; I uncomfortably hold his gaze.&#160; I don&#8217;t say a word.&#160; He hasn&#8217;t offered me a discount, I don&#8217;t think there is a discount that exists, truth be told, and if there is a discount, I should have been aware of it when I walked in the store.&#160; I&#8217;m not buying a car, here, I&#8217;m fuckin buying sticky notes and note cards and pens! </p>
<p>I win. He breaks my gaze, needing both eyes to locate the scan gun and the bar codes on my items. &quot;Okay,&quot; he says with a nervous laugh,&quot;Your total is 40.03.&quot; </p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t get the hell out of that store fast enough.&#160; Later, at the gym, I tell my Nazi trainer what has happened and her eyes get as big as mine must have been as she wonders, too, what will happen when she goes shopping later that evening.&#160; Her shopping experience has been, in a blink of an eye, altered.&#160; Ruined. &quot;It&#8217;s a different world out there.&quot;&#160; I warn her looking at her ominously. &quot;I would suggest hiding the things you don&#8217;t want and not bringing them to the cashier with you to be put in the &#8216;go backs.&#8217;&quot;&#160; I say &quot;go backs&quot; making the quotation marks in the air as if to suggest that &quot;go backs&quot; is a historical word like cassette tapes &#8212; something that exists only as a fond memory in the corner of your mind.</p>
<p>&quot;Yeah.&quot;&#160; She says in a quiet scared voice.&#160; &quot;I don&#8217;t know what to do&#8230;&quot; </p>
<p>Today I was in the area and I glanced over at The Office Depot Store.&#160; For a moment the thought of pens lined up in their little shiny plastic containers called to me and just as I found myself weakening and answering to the call of the pretty ink, I was snapped into reality by the windows covered in ugly brown paper.&#160; STORE CLOSED was written in black sharpie on the paper.&#160; Maybe the question was just a sign of desperation and not a new adopted method of cashiering as I had feared.&#160; I felt a bit bad for Office Depot.&#160; But I&#8217;d be lying if I wasn&#8217;t a little bit relieved, too.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t even use my supplies from the store.&#160; I didn&#8217;t get to the note cards, I was still copying over my information onto my notebook paper.&#160; I did look up my grades for both English and Geography, however, and I managed to get 2 A&#8217;s.&#160; <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> &#160; Yeah me.&#160; Perverted English teacher and Wind Patterns, Wave formations, and currents couldn&#8217;t stop me from achieving my A&#8217;s I so desperately wanted! <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p>I also survived Christmas.&#160; I managed to survive not giving everyone everything they wanted for Christmas, and even though I still have a few presents left to mail (Hey &#8211; there ARE 12 days of Christmas, are there not?!) I didn&#8217;t do so bad.&#160; I realized this year that I so badly wanted to show the people I love how much I really did love and care for them and sometimes you just can&#8217;t do it with money because even if you had all the money you wanted (this is a long ass sentence that is need of a comma somewhere but I&#8217;m out of school right now so I&#8217;m not gonna bother, k?) you still couldn&#8217;t show someone how much you cared and loved them with a present.&#160; It&#8217;s just not possible.&#160; I use to think it was.&#160; But it isn&#8217;t.&#160; I mean &#8211; I don&#8217;t think there is one thing on my wish list that anyone could buy that would tell me exactly how much I mean to them.&#160; I&#8217;ve had some great presents, don&#8217;t get me wrong, but I think that presents don&#8217;t transform their way into a feeling easily.&#160; I tried to give gifts that represented a little bit of what I felt and how the other person made me feel, but &#8230; it&#8217;s hard.&#160; Tiffy had to remind me several times that it&#8217;s the THOUGHT really &#8212; knowing that you crossed someone&#8217;s mind on a special day &#8212; that matters most.&#160; I thought Tiffy was full of shit &#8212; but then I started to think of the things you all have given me and the fact that no matter the size of the gift or the price of the gift &#8211; the fact that you thought enough to send me a word, picture, tribute, gift, or smile made a huge impact on my life and did my spirit wonders. <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> &#160; Believe that.&#160; So thank you all for the tributes, gifts, notes, calls, and &quot;business&quot; this year.&#160; You have impacted my life with things you have said, delighted me with secrets you&#8217;ve entrusted me with, cheered me with gifts of your friendship, lusts, and fantasies (giggles), and truly impressed me with your courage in trusting me to hold your secrets safe.&#160; I hope you never have to say &quot;Pardon&quot; to me (wink); that you know you can always &quot;go back&quot; and try something different or not at all.&#160; Most of all, I wish you a very safe and blessed New Year full of every delight you can ever imagine.&#160; If I&#8217;m invited to be a part of that in some part next year &#8211; great &#8211; but if you discover and hold tight to the delights you receive &#8230;. all the better.</p>
<p>Happy New Year, Friends!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems only yesterday&#8230;  Jackson has now grown into quite the little man.  His sexual appetite would give some of my customer&#8217;s a run for their money.  The little Zebra Minx use to be his partner of choice &#8211; but soon she was replaced with an oversized dog that Jackson mounts every which way he possibly can.  The other day Jackson was humping a pile of blankets &#8211; and just a few minutes ago I caught him eyeing my leg.  I don&#8217;t want to give the impression that he&#8217;s a horn dog or anything that randy &#8211; but he is a feisty one.  On top of his urge to hump everything that moves he also has the energy of a &#8230; 2 year old.  The other day I opened up my little &#8220;room&#8221; to him.  He came in after first going potty (Gooooooood Puppppppy!) and then proceeded to give the place a little look over.  Everything to his satisfaction, he sat by my feet and went after the pig&#8217;s ear that makes me really consider becoming a vegetarian again.  The little ear looks so sad &#8211; all pointy and hard and barbequed.  Jackson lying down anywhere was a first. He usually goes goes goes until I put him to bed.  It might appear that he&#8217;s slowing down somewhat and becoming a little bit of a young man (at least his budding hormones seem to indicate that) but I&#8217;ve been informed he will be very much a puppy for another year (at least.) But back to his testes.  They need to go.  </p>
<p>He hasn&#8217;t been &#8220;marking&#8221; inside as of yet &#8211; but he does spend about 30 minutes of his day of biting ankles, chasing his toys around the back yard, barking at the neighbors, eating pig ears and kibble and treats, and looking adorable &#8211; spraying every tree, shrub, bush and post in our yard.  The vet told me 4-6 months, and after he graduated from Puppy School last Friday with honors (YAY JACKSON!!!!) I made the decision to go on and get it done.  Friday morning I will take my almost 6 lb ball of white fluff to the vet where he will undergo surgery to remove 2 little balls.  I am not sure I will be able to handle it.  Jackson seems a bit oblivious to it all and hopefully he&#8217;ll stay that way and then quickly forget everything they do to him on Friday. *sigh* I&#8217;m a mess. </p>
<p>So anyways &#8211; I&#8217;m doing pretty good on my resolutions from yesterday.  Still working on my &#8220;gift&#8221; but that should definitely be up and ready to go by the end of the evening.  I logged in earlier this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by my a lovely tongue bath, a naughty blackmail by my next door neighbor, a particularily kinky encounter with the Pastor in his office (tsk tsk!) and a few other naughty fantasies &#8211; too naughty to mention *wink*.  I&#8217;m pretty free this January &#8211; classes aren&#8217;t going to be resuming until February for me &#8211; so I&#8217;ll try to set aside a few late morning/afternoons for you early risers. (!!)  As a result of my taking calls this afternoon, though, I didn&#8217;t get to the gym until late &#8211; and didn&#8217;t run my errands until after that.  I was 15 minutes late signing in this evening and so I kinda failed.  Not totally failed &#8211; but sort of kinda failed on one of my &#8220;resolutions&#8221; I set yesterday.  Hopefully though you all will forgive me and we can just count today as a successful CeCe followed through and actually did what she said she was going to do today day.  How about it?  Can I make a deal? <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p>Talk with you later &#8211; still have work to do!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s face the facts, dearest readers, this will in all likelihood be the only post I do before Santa comes to town.  Which is only a few short hours away. Can I just be the typical American here and mention that Christmas arrived way to early this year?  I laughed a few months ago when I saw Christmas Decorations during Halloween. And then when I looked up again &#8211; it was the 23rd of December.  </p>
<p>But not to worry &#8211; I&#8217;m on top of things, now.  I&#8217;ve made my list &#8211; checked it twice &#8211; I found out who was naughty and nice and the nice children&#8217;s presents are underneath the tree.</p>
<p>You know what else is under the tree?  Tons of presents (seriously &#8211; no exaggeration!) from my absolutely adorable customers.  I haven&#8217;t opened up many of them (some of you are too stuck on this whole tradition of opening up presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day and not when they arrive in the mail.) but the presents that I have been most fortunate of opening have been &#8230; incredible!  Rolf sent me a gift certificate from amazon I haven&#8217;t had the pleasure of spending yet &#8211; and also sent me a few presents from my wish list (but as I mentioned earlier &#8211; there are some callers who are sticklers about the appropriate time when one can <b>open</b> them!), Tiffers totally blew me away by sending me a gold anklet (white gold &#8211; my fave!) and one of the prettiest leather bound journals I&#8217;ve ever seen.  I have presents under the tree from the good Doctor, my favorite editor, my college sweetie, and a pretty good size gift is on its way from the computer technician of my dreams.  There were some gifts that just made it into my bank account that deserve mention, too.  CWF, JC, Rolf, T.H. and Julene. <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   </p>
<p>I started to write a list of all the people who have just called to wish me Merry Christmas &#8211; or who have called to check up on me is way too long to mention here.  Let me just say here that there are many of you &#8211; some of which leave me feedback professing their undying love and appreciation (*big grin* you know who all of you are!) and others who prefer to give me their feedback on line or by calling me more than their pocket books can probably afford.  I wish all of you the best Christmas ever.  I know hanging around the family can be tough around this time of the year, but hang in there.  The wrapping paper will settle and the dishes will get cleared from the dinner table.  Your relatives will go home (eventually) and toys will be assembled.  When everything is said <b>and</b> done &#8211; I&#8217;ll be around to hear all about it and help to relieve a little bit of tension in whatever way we see fit. <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p>Thank you so much &#8211; all of you &#8211; for making this more than a Christmas I could &#8220;bear&#8221; &#8211; but a Christmas I&#8217;m looking forward to enjoying.  In your own way (big or small) you have all contributed to that. </p>
<p>Whatever it is that you celebrate (Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza, or just a great sale &#8211; LOL!) &#8211; Celebrate and enjoy &#8211; as much as I&#8217;ve celebrated and enjoyed each one of you. Happy Happy Holidays!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanksgiving came and went with out a hitch &#8211; is that what &#8220;they&#8221; say? (who is THEY?) The turkey was absolutely delicious.  My father found this recipe and he and the turkey grew quite close. Every day for 4 days he took the turkey (that was fresh) out of it&#8217;s frigid home in the refrigerator and slathered it inside and out with the salt.  I was initially very concerned about the turkey being a bit salty &#8211; but surprisingly enough, it wasn&#8217;t. I don&#8217;t know enough about chemistry to really figure out what the salt did &#8211; but the juice in that little turkey was unbelievable&#8230;even the white meat was delicious &#8211; not dry at all!  I had every intention of <b>not</b> over eating &#8211; but the food.  Dear God The Food!  The stuffing melted in my mouth.  The pumpkin pie &#8230; God &#8211; it was heavenly.  Then there was the mashed potatoes, which I created on my own with butter and milk and salt.  Yum-my!  My plan to eat well &#8230; well &#8230; yeah. After our 2 mile walk I had recovered.  Recovered enough to have a 2nd piece of pumpkin pie.  *sigh*  I never learn.  </p>
<p>I have a lot of things to cover.  I know it&#8217;s been a long time between posts.  Sometimes I think I do this on purpose &#8211; take days off between posts, I mean.  If a lot of days go on by &#8211; then most of the time I have a plethora of topics of which I can choose from.  I could, of course, write every day.  I can write every second of every day &#8211; but the more I write the more real topics come out &#8211; topics that I don&#8217;t feel safe discussing in &#8220;here&#8221; all the time.  Some things are private &#8211; too private for a blog, you know? But anyways &#8211; a lot of time has gone by between posts &#8211; and I&#8217;ve gotten quite a few remarks about it.  Enough remarks for me to reconsider my posting habits on this blog.  Also about a month ago I told a dear writer/editor friend of mine that I would take time out and write every day.  I think that he might consider writing in this blog part of that writing assignment.  I know I can just &#8220;check in&#8221; as Tiffy wants me to do &#8211; but nothing is ever &#8220;half way&#8221; with me.  Even when I work &#8230; I have to put it all in there.  Work the full hours.  Or Not work at all.  Though that has been getting better &#8211; I cut myself off by 12:00AM/1:00AM on most nights.  But&#8230;well, I&#8217;ve discussed it before. Everyone who knows me knows my personality and discussing it doesn&#8217;t make my personality any less &#8211; well &#8211; manic. Like, take this paragraph for instance.  All that needs to be said is that I&#8217;ll be writing in this blog at least 3 times a week.  *sigh* </p>
<p>My birthday was an absolute success!  My family spoiled me and if there was any bit of spoiling left to do &#8211; well &#8211; all of <b>you</b> took care of that!  The gifts just keep on coming!  There really is no quick way to do this &#8211; so hang in there &#8211; glance through this long paragraph for your name and after finding it move quickly to the closing of this post &#8211; it&#8217;s the little paragraph where I tie in the title to the rest of the post. <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  In no particular order: Thank you Ron for the Stephanie Plum Boxed Set (books 1-3), Thank you Doctor D for the Candy Fluff Dusting Poweder, Chocolate Whipstick Lip Balm, Sympathy for the Skin Body Cream, Creamed Almond and Coconut Shower Smoothie and Dream Cream Body Cream all by Lush.  The stuff is delicious and you were so absolutely wonderful for spoiling me so!  Thank you to Rolf for the All In One Printer, Someone named anonymous sent me the complete series Everybody Loves Raymond &#8211; so thanks Mr. A. <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />   Um &#8211; My dear friend Greg sent me his favorite movie Pleasantville (Thanks so much!) Thank you to my sweet Tiffy for sending me MAC Pink Poodle, The book Wicked, Marbles, and a great VS Gift Certificate which I promptly used to buy matching prison stripe panties, sweat pants and a sweat shirt.  Mike B sent me Alicia Keys newest CD, Scott bought me Gilmore Girls which I love SO much!, Dan sent me the Rhianna album Good Girls Gone Bad and man.  There may be more gifts on the way so I&#8217;ll update again with the Thank Yous.  I PROMISE!<br />
UR, Mr. PP, Mama Tee, Ray, ScottA, Dave, Mack, Mr. HingOfHearts, Bob, Joe, Beno, and Martin &#8211; thank you all so much for your Happy Birthday Wishes.  It was so sweet of you to take time out of your phone calls with me to wish me well on my special day.  *time to prepare for the big closing&#8230;* </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t feel a bit older, really.  But I feel a LOT richer this year &#8211; and not for the obvious reasons, sillies!  Your friendship through this past year, the gifts and laughs and the incredibly big ears that listen to me &#8211; soak up all my concerns and dreams and fantasies.  You&#8217;ve all been blessings to me &#8211; delectable gifts that I treasure.  Thank you. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes &#8211; My birthday IS right around the corner.  Tiffy seems to have been preparing for this day long before me &#8230; and to that I say &#8211; well, nothing.  I just haven&#8217;t been that into my bday.  I guess because my bday has always been some preliminary to Christmas.  I never expected a lot on my birthday &#8211; I doubled up on the gifts during Christmas cuz of everyone&#8217;s guilty feelings for not having made such a big deal about it.  My callers have proven themselves to be much more sensitive about my bday than my parents ever were&#8230; <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   Thanks guys!  </p>
<p>A while ago people were asking me what I really wanted for my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2ANW8IXOJ7S5F" target="blank">bday</a>.  I even had a person who had never called me ask me what I wanted for my birthday.  To use his words &#8211; what I &#8220;REALLY wanted&#8221; (ah tell me what you want what you really really want!)  At first these requests after establishing an 8 page wish list seemed silly to me &#8211; but when I thought about it a few days ago I realized that my wishlist can read sort of like some crazy cryptic message.  To me &#8211; it all makes sense.  I can tell you by looking at any page of my wish list exactly what I was thinking about.  I can tell you what classes I was taking &#8211; what caught my attention during that particular time of my life or school year or whatever.  But from the outside I know it looks a bit &#8211; crazy and schizophrenic. So &#8230; here is the one and only bday post I will do (until next year.)  I will put it on out there what gifts I would really like to have &#8211; above all the other presents on my wish list.  I also went through my list today and removed a few things that no longer interested me (like the vibrators &#8211; cuz well &#8211; Mr. Hitachi wand and the little bunny makes all those other toys totally unnecessary!) Once again &#8211; these gifts are merely suggestions.  Anything on my wish list will tickle me pink.  </p>
<p>Ok &#8230; so here we go. <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   </p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t mind the thought of me watching too much television when I should be working hard on my math homework &#8211; these dvd collections would thrill me completely!  THE DIRECTORS- THE ESSENTIAL DVD COLLECTION is mega expensive &#8211; but hey&#8230; if you have a few hundred burning a hole in your pocket &#8211; you can indulge me and get it.  Isn&#8217;t the case absolutely ADORABLE? <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   THE BILLY WILDER COLLECTION is gorgeous, too.  Also any MUPPET SHOW series &#8211; or best of collection would be cool beans! EVERYONE LOVES RAYMOND, I LOVE LUCY, GILMORE GIRLS or THE BRADY BUNCH would all be way cool too.  Especially RAYMOND or BRADY BUNCH!  If it would make you feel better to send me something to read &#8211; then THE COMPLETE WORKS OF SHAKESPEARE, STEPHANIE PLUM BOXED SET (I don&#8217;t have any of them  so please start at the beginning and purchase the first set first and so on&#8230; ), JANE AUSTEN COLLECTION or the ROALD DAHL Gift Set would be cool times a billion.  There are also 3 (or is it 4?) POST SECRET books that I&#8217;ve been DYING to have.   If you realize by now that I have plenty to read &#8211; and really want me to finish the recordings I&#8217;ve been promising for a year now &#8211; you can get me that really cool USB Microphone.  If you want me to just write already and stop procrastinating my life away by watching too many movies &#8211; you can pick up any number of journals on my list &#8211; or hey &#8211; (a girl can dream!) buy me that Mac Lap Top I&#8217;m orgasming over.  If you&#8217;d rather give me something more romantic or just want to spoil me a little bit &#8211; you can send me a gift certificate on Amazon and I can get some perfume or jewelry or lotion or whatever.  And if you realize by now that music is my life &#8211; the new Itouch or the new Ipod 8 GB would suffice. *wink* Beyond these suggestions &#8211; anything that is on my wishlist (honestly) I would be happy to recieve.  By now everyone knows what a movie freak I am &#8211; and how much I love Julie Andrews.  A simple DVD of my absolute IDOL would be a sweet and truly appreciated present.   Hopefully these suggestions will help all who asked. <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   I see I&#8217;ve already received a few gifts from my list already and a few teasing emails from &#8220;secret&#8221; admirers telling me they are sending me things&#8230; and that I need to wait to open up the actual package on my bday.  (yeah &#8211; right!)   </p>
<p>I&#8217;m totally sleepy right now.  NF went down right as I was speaking to Mr. Pink.  (been a long time, mister!) &#8211; and it doesn&#8217;t look like NF will be up until way later.  Jackson had another class today along with a grooming appointment and he wore me out.  I hear him tumbing about in his crate right now &#8211; and if I stay up much later he&#8217;ll think it&#8217;s time to get up and play and ai won&#8217;t be sleeping until this afternoon.  I&#8217;ll log in for a bit tomorrow &#8211; and Sunday &#8211; though I have a date with the Tiffers &#8211; and I think I have a date earlier in the afternoon with UR &#8211; Who is celebrating a certain um &#8230; Half a century event! <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   </p>
<p>Have a great evening &#8211; thanks for the gifts and calls so far &#8211; and have a safe and wonderful day of Thanks &#8211; in case I don&#8217;t get back til after the blessed event. Hope the turkey isn&#8217;t dry &#8211; and that your relatives don&#8217;t drive you too crazy. <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I went into the drug store today &#8230; for what I have no idea&#8230; and what should I see?  Christmas decorations.  They took away 2 aisles of merchandise and replaced the junk with Christmas lights, ornaments, cards, and boxed chocolates.  It&#8217;s not even Halloween yet, people!  Still in shock I gathered my purchases (christmas cards, and a few ornaments for some friends) and headed to the cash register prepared to give the clerks a piece of my mind. The words &#8220;are you fuckin kidding me, people?!&#8221; stayed lodged in my throat while I forked over 70 dollars.  I&#8217;ve decided that every holiday I&#8217;m doing these quick little babysitting gigs and saving my pennies so that I am able to buy presents &#8211; I might as well take my hard earned cash from my first well paying job and get a head start.  It&#8217;s the responsible thing to do.  I sheepishly thanked the kind considerate lady at Long&#8217;s drug store and went on my way.  The retail business has our (procrastinators) best interest at heart, after all. </p>
<p>Thanksgiving marks the day that the Christmas playlist comes out of hibernation.  Babs, Julie Andrews, and even Kenny G in his god awful imitation of saxaphone playing makes my playlist at Christmas time.  I play Christmas carols non stop from Thanksgiving onward and I enjoy every moment of it.  And while we&#8217;re talking about Christmas holidays &#8211; white lights &#8211; not colored ones &#8211; and I&#8217;m not being racial about it, it&#8217;s just that white lights look pretty and the colored lights look gawdy as hell.  No food on the trees either &#8211; that&#8217;s just obnoxious to me.  Sorry.  And while we&#8217;re at it &#8211; you can keep the tinsel (cats eat it and that&#8217;s so not attractive the day after!) &#8211; and snow men that are animated in the front lawn.  I&#8217;m a minimalist when it comes to Christmas.  It&#8217;s too bad that my family doesn&#8217;t feel the same way.  The other year my father proudly put reindeer in the front lawn &#8211; and even though there is no one in my family that believes in Santa &#8211; the milk and cookies still sit by the fireplace with the stockings hanging by the fire (with care.)  My father takes great pride in his decorating and if he had it his way he would put a Santa with a sleigh and all how ever many reindeer there are on the roof top while blasting carols through a loud speaker mounted to the side of the house for good measure.  I keep telling him that Jesus is the reason for the season (his words &#8211; not mine) but he shushes me up with &#8211; &#8220;What would Jesus do?  He would decorate decorate decorate &#8211; it&#8217;s his bday party for crying out loud!&#8221;  My father, if you haven&#8217;t guessed, is a loon. </p>
<p>I bring up Christmas and the holidays because well &#8211; it&#8217;s almost here.  I&#8217;ve been receiving quite a few calls in regards to my birthday (November 24th &#8211; thanks for asking! lol!) and my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2ANW8IXOJ7S5F/" target="blank">wishlist on amazon</a>.  Quite a few of you are wondering if I can update it a bit for the holiday season and well &#8211; I&#8217;ll try to.  But honestly &#8211; anything on that list would make a great Christmas present.  I&#8217;m REALLY craving the Gilmore Girls box set to be quite honest.  I also am craving the Director&#8217;s series that is currently unavailable on amazon &#8211; but I did find it <a href="http://www.dvdpacific.com/item.asp?ID=3172" target="blank">here</a>. *double triple axel with a drool for good measure*  This thing gives me absolute female wood.  It&#8217;s majorly expensive though &#8211; so it&#8217;s like a dream, really.  But man &#8211; I would love to have that orgasmic pile of dvds in my little capable hands!   I&#8217;m not a perfume type of gal (<a href="http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/application/prodDisplay/?namespace=productDisplay&#038;origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&#038;event=display&#038;prnbr=3E-197044&#038;page=1&#038;cgname=OSFRGWOMZZZ&#038;rfnbr=2543&#038;pn=false" target="blank">except for this gorgeous stuff right here&#8230; yummy yummy in my tummy tum tum!</a>) &#8211; and I really don&#8217;t have any need for jewelry or anything like that.  I would love a gift certificate to petsmart, though (you can send it to my email address &#8211; Celinawetdreams@gmail.com.) A gift certificate to Barnes &#038; Noble (nobel?) might be nice though &#8211; for school books next semester &#8211; and a few tributes towards my education would be swell, too (lol@my use of the word swell) &#8211; and well &#8211; if you&#8217;re a millionaire you could always buy me a mac desk top cuz I&#8217;m so over PC&#8217;s&#8230;other than that &#8211; nah.  Everything I could ever desire (well almost) is on my wish list and at the risk of sounding like one of the characters in Little Women &#8211; I mainly just want it to be a good &#8220;season&#8221; of good calls &#8211; so that I can lavish my family and friends with wonderful gifts.  Seriously &#8211; I have so much more fun GIVING gifts and wrapping them up and stuff.  I love finding the just right present for someone and I love seeing their face when they open it up.  It makes me extremely happy to give presents and wrap them up in pretty paper &#8211; and send out cards to relatives and friends and teachers and stuff.  As much as I moan and groan about Christmas time &#8211; I really look forward to it and really get into the groove around um &#8211; December 22nd or so. (lol!)  </p>
<p>Speaking of gifts &#8211; I really need to thank a few people for their generousity.  Not only have I been completely blessed this past weekend (and the weekend before) with plenty of calls and great new callers whom I always enjoy breaking in (hehe) &#8211; I&#8217;ve also been greatly blessed with presents from my wish list.  My dear Uncle Randy sent me the rest of the books that I needed for my screenwriting class &#8211; as well as a rather expensive computer program, <a href="http://www.finaldraft.com/products/final-draft/" target="blank">Final Draft</a>.  I was so excited &#8211; I can&#8217;t even express it in words!!  Final Draft is THE software that every great screenwriter uses &#8211; so to have my very own copy on my very own mac lap top is &#8230; A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!  I have already started to use it to write my first 30 pages &#8211; to develop my characters &#8211; to make little notes to myself about plots and so on &#8230; it&#8217;s just the best piece of software ever.  Thank you so much UR for sending it to me.  I couldn&#8217;t have afforded such a thing for a very long time and was almost getting prepared to use a cheapie free version that wouldn&#8217;t allow me half the freedom that Final Draft does.  You seriously made my semester at school a much easier one!  I also received the <a href="http://www.wizdog.com" target="blank">wizdog</a> from my dearest sweetest doc in the whole wide world which Jackson has already used a few times so hopefully he catches on to it quickly.  For those of you who have been following my puppy training dilemas &#8211; Jackson pees on pads at the moment because he is not able to go outside.  Pee pads are these sort of diapers you place on the floor for your puppy to &#8230; eliminate on.  Jackson does this part fine &#8211; but then sees to destroy the evidence of the pee pad by using his razor sharp teeth to destroy the pad &#8211; reducing his pen to some nightmarish sort of Christmas scene &#8211; complete with snow and piles of dog poop in the snow drifts.  It&#8217;s like he can&#8217;t help himself and no matter how much tape I used he still would find the inside of the pads and go to town.  This wizdog however will take care of the problem.  Currently he is screaming like I&#8217;m killing him though while in his crate &#8211; so I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s eliminated as much as he would like to.  God help me. Anyways &#8211; fuck anyways &#8211; I&#8217;ll be right back &#8211; let me see if he has to go or if he just wants to play before bedtime. (the old &#8220;can i have a glass of water mommy&#8221; trick, you know.)<br />
Ok &#8211; he has stopped for a moment.  Fuck &#8211; I lied.  BRB. Ok &#8211; I&#8217;m back. So this wizdog contraption is basically a tray that holds the pee pad &#8211; and then there is a plastic slab/grid that goes on top that holds the pee pad in the tray and beyond the reach of the little puppy claws and teeth.  So far it has worked like a charm &#8211; though Jackson gave it the ole I&#8217;m stubborn just like my moms college try. Ha!  The wizdog is too much for him &#8211; even his puppy teeth and ridiculous determination can&#8217;t break through that grid (though I did notice earlier today that his teeth HAVE broke through 2 of the grids on the baby gate &#8211; I give it another few months before he shawshank redemptions his ass out of that barrier.) Thank You so much, Doc for the wizdog.  I really think that it will work wonders and save me the trouble of wading through a sea of poop, pee pad snow, and masking tape.  *Muahz times a trillion!* In addition to these things I&#8217;ve also received through the weeks several dozen movies &#8211; a great cd and several books from sweetest nazi in the whole wide world, Rolf, (private joke moment &#8211; Rolf really is only a nazi in the movie The Sound Of Music &#8211; and in his spare time volunteers at several Lutheran Churches in the area&#8230;) and well &#8211; Jack, too, has been spoiled by some of you and he thanks you for the gifts and requests that you don&#8217;t stop.  I&#8217;m just the messenger, here&#8230; <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p>So yes, Christmas has already started around here it would seem, huh?  *soft music begins to play*  but the BEST Christmas/Bday presents this past month have absolutely and with out a doubt been the incredible feedback and tributes you&#8217;ve given to me.  Oh My Goodness.  Sometimes I read through the feedback and literally blush.  I can&#8217;t believe that you all have such sweet things to say to me &#8211; and sometimes I really don&#8217;t feel that deserving of it.  I mean &#8211; I KNOW I do a good job at what I do because in part I enjoy what I do alot.  And I&#8217;m not talking about the canned response about masturbating.  Sometimes I get horny, yes, and I do play a bit &#8211; but MOSTLY I enjoy pleasing all of you!  I love the changes in your voices as you are about to &#8220;finish&#8221; &#8211; I love even the embarrassed laugh some of you give at the end of a call with your disclaimer that you&#8217;re really not half as nasty as you claim to be during the fantasies (lol!) &#8211; I love your hushed whispers as you hide in closets to get in your quick fix before joining the wife in bed &#8211; I love the sigh of pleasure you give before you say &#8220;thank you&#8221; at the end of the call.  I love the surprise in your voice as you realize that I do (even if I forget initially) remember your fantasy and that I have (even if I ask that you call me back while I read it!) read your emails and taken your fantasy into my little fantasy factory and spun a new tale around it.  These things give me pleasure &#8211; so when I get your feedback in addition to all these other things I feel totally and completely spoiled!  Thank you for making me days and nites by taking the time to do that.   A few days ago I sent out a over 20 home made thank you cards to those of you who took the time to say a little something on my listings.  These cards will change once a month and will always feature a little picture of me in the graphic.  Just a little &#8220;thank you&#8221; from me to you.  At the end of the month I&#8217;ll also be sending a few of you something extra special &#8211; so keep a look out around Halloween, ok? </p>
<p>Ok &#8211; I&#8217;ll be on alerts for the rest of the nite.  I&#8217;m a little bit pooped from the busy weekend and need to prepare myself for my next Algebra test.  By the way &#8211; I got the horse, I passed my Math test (I got a B+) and Jackson is getting BIG!  He now fetches &#8211; and &#8220;drops&#8221; it like it&#8217;s hot on demand. <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   He also knows &#8220;down&#8221;, &#8220;sit&#8221; &#8211; and the sound of a can filled with coins when he does something bad.  He is absolutely adorable and I can&#8217;t imagine my life with out that little guy.  I can&#8217;t help but love him &#8211; even when he&#8217;s bad.  Everyone that meets him falls in love with him.  Anyways &#8211; I better run and tend to him.  I&#8217;ll spell check and link up some of the things I talked about in an hour or so&#8230; so if you&#8217;re here before 12:00AM Tuesday &#8211; my apologies.  Jack is less patient than most of my readers&#8230; <img src='http://ytwd.net/diary/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p>Happy Holidays &#8211; (just kiddin&#8230; you got a few more days&#8230;) </p>
